    First time dining here and our expectations were completely blown away . We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff into a beautifully clean restaurant ,we were given time to choose and told of specials without needing to ask. The staff were attentive, and the food was outstanding . We had the paneer and black pudding pakoras ,scotch egg, pork belly and lemon thyme chicken dishes , all were hot, beautifully presented , and a surprisingly large portion. A massive bonus was the free kids buffet , although he would have had something from the menu it made our sons stay extra special he could go up and choose his own meal, with lots of choices ! We were too full for dessert , but I asked if I could take a portion of chocolate torte back to my room , which staff were very agreeable to. After paying our bill they bough out the dessert and spoon for me to take back to enjoy later in the evening (which was also incredible!) We will definitely be returning very soon Thank you

    The restaurant looked very nice and the booking process was easy. The friend that I was dining with has to eat a gluten-free diet and there wasn’t much explanation as to which options were open to her. She was just handed a folder with information on which options on the menu contained gluten. It would’ve been more useful if someone could have gone through this with her in detail as it wasn’t very self-explanatory. The following morning when we came down for breakfast, the member of staff who greeted us just pointed to a table we sat there and waited for sometime not knowing whether we were meant to be getting up to help ourselves or whether someone was going to bring us drinks. I ended up asking somebody who said have you not ordered your drinks, I said no . It just would’ve been nice to have a better greeting somebody walking us to our table and being a bit more attentive explaining what the process was for breakfast.

    Had read very mixed reviews but my experience was very good. Lovely afternoon tea with great service. It was a lot quieter than I expected for a bank holiday weekend though.

    Great spa deal for 2. Breakfast was fabulous loved it. Would like to book the treatments for longer on next visit If you book online the late 12 check out needs to be pre booked when you check in and it’s only if they have availability.. we was unable to do this on this stay hoping to do next time. Am planning my next visit as so relaxing Thankyou

    Sunday roast was well presented and the beef was nicely done. However, the service times to table were far too long and the food is a little over-priced. A lot of people were complaining about their wait for food. Menu choice is also somewhat limited.

    The food was really poor which is a shame as the spa is lovely but I wouldn't go back or recommend it because of the restaurant. A decent salad would be good. The sandwiches were average and over priced. The outside area could do with a make over
